Stand-up occasions that flow — canapés, grazing stations and conversation moving through marble and monumental concrete.
A great cocktail function is choreography: arrival, first drink, the slow drift between conversations. SMC's spaces are made for that movement — a triple-height marble foyer for 300, the adjoining Banquet Hall for up to 550, and combined flows that have hosted many more. Passed canapés, food stations and beverage packages from Bronze to Gold keep the night moving — old favourites like Peking duck pancakes beside new ones like the wagyu charcoal slider.
Built for exactly this
